9-12 months is an adequate time. Booking 2 months or less may result in limited availability. 

Yes! I do bridal and special event hairstyling. I'm also a full-time cosmetologist - I cut, color, highlight and balayage hair. I love making sure my clients' hair looks and feels good before their event. You can visit my salon in Schaumburg, IL. Email or message me on Instagram @makeupbynineveh for more info!

Yes, we can meet on-site. There is a travel rate based on distance, time and any additional expenses, such as parking.

Time varies based on desired makeup and/or hair look. Makeup application may take about 45 minutes to an hour. Bridal makeup can take up to an hour and 15 minutes. 

Hairstyles take about an hour, sometimes longer if the look requires a lot of curling, the use of hair extensions, or if the client has lots of hair. Bridal hair can take up to an hour and 30 minutes.

There isn’t a correct answer. However, it is highly recommended to get your hair done before your makeup. This will keep your makeup lasting longer for your event.

Nope. We will be working from a full makeup kit. Your makeup artist has everything you need!  

Yes! If you are using hair extensions, please make sure to bring them - washed, dried and detangled. If you have any hair accessories, remember to bring them as well.  

Hair: Please wash and blow-dry your hair the night before your appointment. If you have very thick, frizzy and/or curly hair, you may also straighten your hair. This will cut back on prep time. 

*Do not wash your hair the day of your appointment. Your hair will still have moisture, causing curls to fall faster. Your hair may also have static, which will make it challenging to work with. 

Face: Please remove any previous makeup and arrive with a cleansed face. Moisturizer is optional - it will be applied during your makeup appointment.

Hair extensions will give you the right amount of length and volume to create specific hairstyles. It really depends on your hair type and the look you are going for. For example, Glam/Hollywood waves and braided ponytails always look best using hair extensions. 

I recommend 100% human hair from reputable hair extension companies. Avoid synthetic hair as they are made out of plastic and very challenging to work with. 

For more info on choosing the right hair extensions, please contact me and we can schedule a consultation.

Yes! Wear a button down shirt or something stretchy during your hair and/or makeup appointment. This will allow you to change outfits smoothly without touching your hair or face. Avoid hoodies and fabric that may cause friction or static, such as fleece. 

No. It is not my speciality. However, I can refer you to some talented saree drapers!
